Albert Kner Artist, Icon, Legend Literature and Books

Join us for a special evening celebrating the book Albert Kner: Artist, Icon, Legend: Discovering His Legacy in Industrial Design.
Albert Kner (1899–1976) was a Hungarian-American designer whose work shaped modern packaging and graphic design. From inventing the cardboard six-pack and the flip-top cigarette box to producing compelling stage sets, furniture, and printed matter, Kner's contribution to visual culture is both diverse and visionary, yet remains largely unknown.
This event will contain a presentation by Robert Brooker III on Kner’s extraordinary life and career, tracing his journey from early typographic experimentation in Hungary to his post-war success as Design Director for America’s largest cardboard manufacturer, where he was tasked with an unusual but inspiring challenge: make cardboard beautiful.
The book includes 112 striking illustrations in black and white and full colour, showcasing Kner’s elegant, often ahead-of-his-time design work. As designer and author Bruce Kennett writes, “Brooker and Erdész have done a superb job in presenting Kner’s remarkable life in all its phases... A wonderful book from start to finish.”
Don’t miss this opportunity to rediscover a hidden gem of 20th-century design history - book your spot now.
